  • For the fourth detail: There is no indication in the text that people thought Copeland was promoted because of her race.
  • For the fifth detail: The text states "people advised her (Wilkinson) to focus on African or modern dance because of her race", which implies she was told to study African dance instead of ballet (as she was trained in classical ballet).
